QPR assistant manager Marc Bircham says they are hoping to instil a new philosophy in the squad during their pre-season campaign.

The season's preparations begin with a behind-closed-doors training trip to Portugal on June 23rd, which according to Bircham, will be an intense week.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "It's all about pre-season, and getting an Ian Holloway pre-season under the players' belt, which i can say is a little bit harder than normal pre-seasons!

"Most the players in the squad are going to be here so we'll have a whole pre-season to work with the squad so it gives us chance to work with them to get them ready for the first game of the season.
